<!--USAGE_GUIDE_START-->

### Configuration

Use `eslint.config.js` file to configure rules. See also: <https://eslint.org/docs/latest/use/configure/configuration-files>.

Example **eslint.config.js**:

```js
import eslintPluginToml from 'eslint-plugin-toml';
export default [
  // add more generic rule sets here, such as:
  // js.configs.recommended,
  ...eslintPluginToml.configs.recommended,
  {
    rules: {
      // override/add rules settings here, such as:
    // 'toml/rule-name': 'error'
    }
  }
];
```

This plugin provides configs:

- `*.configs.base` ... Configuration to enable correct TOML parsing.
- `*.configs.recommended` ... Above, plus rules to prevent errors or unintended behavior.
- `*.configs.standard` ... Above, plus rules to enforce the common stylistic conventions.
- `*.configs.all` ... Configuration to enable correct TOML parsing and all non-deprecated rules. This config is not recommended for production use because it may change with every minor release. Use at your own risk.

For backward compatibility, you can also use the `flat/*` namespace:

- `*.configs['flat/all']`
- `*.configs['flat/base']`
- `*.configs['flat/recommended']`
- `*.configs['flat/standard']`

See [the rule list](https://ota-meshi.github.io/eslint-plugin-toml/rules/) to get the `rules` that this plugin provides.

#### Languages

This plugin provides the following language identifiers for use in ESLint configurations:

- `toml/toml` ... TOML files

For example, to apply settings specifically to TOML files, you can use the `language` field in your ESLint configuration:

```js
import eslintPluginToml from 'eslint-plugin-toml';
export default [
  {
    files: ["*.toml", "**/*.toml"],
    plugins: {
      toml: eslintPluginToml,
    },
    language: "toml/toml",
  }
]
```

The configuration above is included in the shareable configs provided by this plugin, so using `configs` is generally recommended.

See also <https://eslint.org/docs/latest/use/configure/plugins#specify-a-language>

## :computer: Editor Integrations

### Visual Studio Code

Use the [dbaeumer.vscode-eslint](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=dbaeumer.vscode-eslint) extension that Microsoft provides officially.

You have to configure the `eslint.validate` option of the extension to check `.toml` files, because the extension targets only `*.js` or `*.jsx` files by default.

Example **.vscode/settings.json**:

```json
{
    "eslint.validate": [
        "javascript",
        "javascriptreact",
        "toml"
    ]
}
```

## :white_check_mark: Rules

<!--RULES_SECTION_START-->

The `--fix` option on the [command line](https://eslint.org/docs/user-guide/command-line-interface#fixing-problems) automatically fixes problems reported by rules which have a wrench :wrench: below.  
The rules with the following star :star: are included in the configs.
